Hello Larry,

An openSUSE user has filed a bug regarding the lack of 3D acceleration
in guests. I have followed the various discussions regarding this issue
and I now have most of the parts in our guest packages. My main
remaining problem is that "/usr/bin/VBoxClient --check3d" returns
nothing. For my current testing, I have removed that test from my
vboxadd shell, but I will need to solve the problem before I can push
the changes.
I looked at the VBoxClient code, but quickly got lost. What are the
requirements for a non-NULL response for the command?
Don't know if this is confusing, but the command returns true or false, as in
"if /usr/bin/VBoxClient --check3d; then" in a shell script. In that case
VBoxOGL.so and VBoxEGL.so should be set up to replace the default Mesa
libOGL.so.* and libEGL.so.*. Our installer uses ld.so.conf.d for this.
Michael,
Thanks for the response. I was confused at first, but I eventually did realize
that VBoxClient is returning true if the 3D box is checked, and false if not. My
script is working correctly to enable acceleration. My only problem is the
cleanup required if 3D is turned off on a subsequent boot. That should not be
difficult to fix.
Larry
